Sam started playing fiddle at 3, and Thomas took up piano at 6. Along with Sam's younger brother Stefan (not appearing at this event), the teenagers started Popcorn Behavior in 1993. They have recorded 3 highly-acclaimed albums since 1995. With the addition of Nightingale's Keith Murphy, their popularity continues to increase. Sing Out magazine described their Journeywork CD as "ensemble playing of the highest caliber".
